Photo by Kort Duce A single prairie grass blade glistens with morning dew at a local nature area in Longmont, Colorado. In this horizontal color photograph, a close-up reveals droplets of varying sizes clinging to the vibrant green leaf. The background fades into a soft blur of darker greens and subtle earth tones, creating a simple, understated composition.

I always love finding little gems like this in nature: prairie grass drying and curling to form a perfect circle. So dang cool.

Your Afternoon Wildflower (sort of)! One of my favorite Warm Season prairie grasses, Blue Grama. I luv this small grass & its delicate little yellowish green flowers, especially as they tremble in the prairie winds. #prairiegrasses #northdakota #prairie #grasslands

Fall is here!

Native grasses turning yellow is a good sign of fall at Pella Crossing Open Space west of Longmont, Colorado.
